ANIMAL OF THE DAY: Mahogany glider (Petaurus gracilis)

The mahogany glider is a nocturnal marsupial endemic to Queensland, Australia. They feed on nectar and pollen and it gets its name from its mahogany coloured belly and gliding membrane. They are listed as endangered and, though similar to other gliders, it is considerably larger.
